Bataille

Perfumer: Nicolas Beaulieu

Bataille is inspired by the contrasting natures of water and fire and the energy of their interaction. This is reflected in the notes choice: warming sparks of saffron, ginger, pink pepper and patchouli meet cooling sage, and the imperceptible hedione veil.

The formula is quite minimalist: it contains 32 ingredients. A classic perfume can contain up to 300 ingredients.
